‘Pick up after yourself’- Concerned CGB resident
During his ‘Mid-Term Report’ to the Territory on July 10, 2017 Premier Smith said, “Our land, our air, our seas are God’s gift to us. When any one of us throws our garbage out in public we are betraying that blessing and giving offence to our neighbours and families. We are essentially saying that we don’t care about one another and we don’t value God’s blessings.”
Pick up after yourself
A few weeks after the Premier’s plea, a resident of Cane Garden Bay, Ms Din Hen, found herself expressing her frustration on the BVI Community Board’s Facebook page regarding the dumping of garbage on the beach.
She said, “Take a look at Cane Garden Bay after a busy weekend. There’s no reason that adults cannot pick up after themselves.”
She continued, “As a small community we should focus more on being conscious of the waste we create daily throughout the territory. Have respect for our natural habitat.”
Ms Din Hen stated that although the Department of Waste Management (DWM) provides only one trash bin on the beachfront, all the restaurants provide trash bin for their customers.
“After you purchase and indulge make the effort to pick up your items and return them to the proper waste disposal.”
What a shame
This drew a response from members of the community who were in agreement with Ms Din Hen.
Rosita Bryan said, “What a shame when we live in such a beautiful place. Pick up after yourselves.”
Sharing the same sentiments, Ms Maynard commented that she does not like to see people littering. “Some people are just naturally nasty, and don’t even pick up behind themselves at home.”
Meanwhile, Pamela Forbes explained that she takes up garbage along the beach every day and she notices that the trash bins are sometimes hidden or not on the beach at all:
“In the evening I toss larger things up beyond the tide line so at least they don’t go in the water before they are picked up in the morning. Most of the straws are left behind from the cruise ship.”
